# Trueno: dockerized Bitcoin Core 

# Resources:
# https://github.com/Stadicus/docker-bitcoin-core (forked)
# https://hub.docker.com/r/truenolightning/bitcoin-core/

# Requirements: 
#   Git: to clone source (only 2 files)
#   Python3: to create rpcauth
#   Docker: to run docker image

git --version \
  && python3 --version \
  && docker --version

# setup test environment (simulate bitcoin.conf & external hdd
cd ~ \
  && mkdir bitcoin_hdd \
  && touch bitcoin_hdd/init.file \
  && mkdir .bitcoin \
  && echo "# Trueno bitcoin.conf" > .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

# create RPC auth (replaces rpcuser / rpcpassword)
# The non-sensitive 'rpcauth' is stored in bitcoin.conf (old lines with 'rpcauth' are removed first)
# The secret password is saved in rpcpassword.txt

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/master/share/rpcauth/rpcauth.py | python3 - trueno | tee rpcauth.tmp \
